Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
